IMPROVEMENT IN CARTRlDGE-LOADERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,607, dated December 3, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. S. WARNER, of Ogdensburg, in the county of St. Lawrence and State of New York, have invented an Improved Cartridge-Shell Loader for Breech- Loading Fire-Arms, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 represents a sectional side view of my improved shell-loader. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line c a, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3, an end view of the same.

The object of this invention is to produce a portable device but little larger than the cartridgeshell for placing the wads therein; and the invention consists in a tube counterbored to fit over cartridge-shell and provided with aspring-plunger.

In the drawing, A represents a plunger, cylindrical, slotted, and inserted within a short tube,B. A pin, a,fitted transversely through the tubefpasses also through the slot of the plungerA. bis a spring concealed within the upper part of the plunger and bearing against the pin a. A wad, d, is placed in tube B against the end of plunger, and the latter then forced into the shell (Lwhich is fitted into the counterbored end of the tube B. v

As soon as the plunger is relieved from pressure, spring 12 will withdraw it from shell.
